“…The measured ages indicate that SU6b corresponds to the most recent highstand deposits formed since sea-level rise terminated. On the basis of radiocarbon data (Saito, 1998;Liu et al, 2004;Lie et al, 2014), the sea level in the Yellow Sea reached its present position at about 7 ka BP, which correlates with the measured age of the bottommost part of SU6b (Fig. 11).…”

“…During the lowstand of sea level at the LGM, the relative sea level was about 120 m lower than at present (Qin et al, 1996;Saito, 1998;Liu et al, 2004;Lie et al, 2014). Then, the paleo-shoreline was positioned in the far south or southeast of Jeju Island and the continental shelf of the present study area was entirely exposed, resulting in subaerial erosion associated with fluvial incision (Fig.…”

“…By about 15 ka BP, the shoreline approached the southern tip of the study area near Jeju Island, in water approximately 100 m deep than the present sea level (Fig. 13A, Saito, 1998;Lie et al, 2014). Since that time, seawater began to enter the western part of the study area, and the incised channels were backfilled fluvial or coastal sediments, forming incised channel-fill deposits (SU1).…”

“…Based on the recent sea-level curve (Liu et al, 2004;Lie et al, 2014), the shoreline may have stabilized in the southern part of the study area for a sufficiently long period between 13.5 and 11 ka BP (about 70 m below present sea level) to allow the formation of the large-scale sand bodies of SU3 ( Fig. 13B and C).…”

“…The post glacial transgression in the area began about 19e18 ka BP (Saito, 1998;Liu et al, 2004;Lie et al, 2014). Since that time, the Yellow Sea has undergone a whole suite of dramatic environmental changes resulting from the progressive landward migration of the shoreline.…”

Based on monthly averaged current, temperature, and salinity, we analyzed the changes of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and the relationship with the warm current, coastal current, and cold water mass (CWM) in the East China Seas (ECSs). The result shows that the coastal current and surface diluted water are the route for transporting suspended sediment. The Kuroshio and its derived warm current branches play the important role of the continental shelf circulation system and control the diffusion of suspended sediment. High SSC has been mainly concentrated in coastal current and CWM. Two sedimentary dynamic patterns have been identified. The winter‐half‐year pattern lasts almost 7 months. The coastal currents off the Shandong Peninsula, northern Jiangsu, Zhejiang‐Fujian coast are the main routes for diffusion and deposition of the suspended sediment from the Yellow River and Changjiang River. The summer‐half‐year pattern is characterized by the well‐developed CWM. All CWMs have a unique function to trap suspended sediment under the thermocline due to weakening tidal current and residual current there. These CWMs in the Yellow Sea (YS) and north ECS are connected together. The layer above the thermocline is characterized by diluted water with low salinity, high temperature. Suspended sediment can be transported into the Okinawa Trough and the South Korea coast during this period. A strong eddy always occur nearby the Kuroshio bend at northeast Taiwan, which has promoted the exchange between the ECS shelf and Okinawa Trough, and the development of the shelf edge current and Taiwan warm current (TWC).

The East China Sea (ECS) and the Southern Yellow Sea (SYS) ecosystem is undergoing dramatic changes, but the spatiotemporal patterns and forcing mechanisms of phytoplankton variations remain understudied. Phytoplankton lipid biomarkers are useful proxies for productivity and community structure changes, and they were measured in suspended particles of more than 81 sites from spring and summer of 2011 in the ECS and SYS. In spring, the concentrations of brassicasterol (4.7-127 ng L À1 ) and dinosterol (0.7-37 ng L À1 ) were markedly higher in the northern and central SYS, while C 37 alkenones (0-15 ng L À1 ) were detected at only seven sites in the ECS. In summer, brassicasterol (25.3-1178 ng L À1 ) and dinosterol (0-125 ng L À1 ) showed high values off the Changjiang River Estuary (CRE), while C 37 alkenones (0-410 ng L À1 ) had high values in the northwest and central SYS. The mean concentrations of the three lipid biomarkers in summer were 3 to 61 times higher than those in spring. Spatiotemporal patterns of biomarkers reveal higher ratios of diatom/dinoflagellate and diatom/haptophyte in higher productivity areas, off the CRE in summer and the northern and central SYS in spring. This study validates the applicability of brassicasterol, dinosterol, and alkenones as proxies of productivity and community structure of the three phytoplankton taxa: diatoms, dinoflagellates, and haptophytes. The results indicate that nutrients (in summer) and turbidity-induced photosynthetic available radiation (in spring) play important roles in regulating spatiotemporal variations of phytoplankton in the ECS and SYS.
